Getting Away From The Hunter - Chapter 10

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Chapter 10

The moment when two mouths meet with such determination.

“Mmng…”

An ecstatic moan escaped Ravi’s throat. Through her open lips there was a taste of his energy, which, at least slightly, satisfied her. The succubus, afraid to miss it, licked the insides of the sleeping hunter’s mouth thoroughly and swallowed it all at once.

“Delicious…”

The high-quality energy she tasted again was enough to ignite the hungry demon. As if sorry for missing such a good opportunity, she began to covet the hunter’s lips messily, recklessly, overshadowing the wrong judgment just before. At first, realizing the taste of it was frightening.

Slurp slurp~ It was very disappointing to see the energy slipping out only by sucking the root of his tongue. Beyond Regan’s throat, she could feel a heavy lump of lust sleeping inside him.

“More. Give me more… More–”

Ravi’s small tongue pierced Regan’s lips, trying to move the immovable rock-like energy.

‘I think if I do a little more it’ll come out…’

Creak- Totally captivated by the hunter’s delicious smell, she naturally climbed onto his lap. She wrapped her arms around the neck of sleeping Regan and sucked his tongue out as she moaned and gasped. The lump of energy flowed through the mixed saliva right inside her mouth.

Mmmh… Ahhh-

Ravi purred like a cat and moved her head to and fro. The wicked succubus teased the defenseless hunter’s tongue at will. Tickling his palate, pulling his sharp tongue into her mouth, and sucking it whole. Like that, the demon, enjoying her prey fully with the occasional energy that leaked out, couldn’t control her excitement and slowly began to move her waist up and down.

“…!”

Then a strong force pushed her away unexpectedly. The lips that had been attached as if they were one body split in two and moved away from her.

Long thread-like saliva dropped as if witness to such a violent act.

“…Hu–”

Ting- It broke. Ravi, who was in full ecstasy, let out her muffled groan. Her vision, faithful to her instincts, was foggy and a bit blurry. At that time, someone grabbed her chin hard. The moment she thought she was being dragged, her vision was stained with golden.

“I–”

It was a chilling sound that made her spine shiver as if being in front of a threatening beast. When her eyes focused and met with Regan’s, he was as cold as the north wind in a snowstorm.

“I told you not to mess with me in public places.”

Heuk- Ravi suddenly woke up from the tickling afterglow of her predation.

Blink- blink- Reason, which had left her, came back in a chilly atmosphere as if she had been doused with cold water.

Oh, oh…

Contrary to her intention to dine and dash, she took quite a long time with the energy inside him. She looked at Regan with eyes full of confusion.

Unlike her, who exhaled heavily, Regan, staring at her cooly, showed no sign of excitement.

“Attacking a sleeping person?”

Ravi’s face turned hot at the clear sarcasm in his accusation. At this rate, it wasn’t like he was the one clinging onto her but rather her being the one clinging.

“I- I’ll be leaving now.”

She rushed down from the chair and hastily left. Regan’s eyes grew even more ferocious at the sight of her explicitly running away.

“You–”

Ravi quickly cleared her seat and, pretending not to hear his dreary voice, turned her back rather angrily.

“Oh, I don’t know! It’s not fun to play with you! It’s all because of you!”

After blaming him for all her responsibilities, she left the library without hearing his answer, just in case she would be caught.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Angry steps walked away and after a moment, he saw Ravi’s back as she walked boldly out the window. After he couldn’t even see her back anymore, his gaze moved away from the window and focused again on the abandoned book on the table. “100 Pages Of Understanding Between Women and Men.”

“…”

Only then did he realize that Ravi had not turned one page of the book. Regan’s jaw hardened.

His mood sank.

The flustered footsteps calmed down as time passed. Because it was hard for her to suffer from the same psychological factors every human has experienced since birth, Ravi’s embarrassment, confusion, and discomfort quickly turned to dust and disappeared.

She was a pragmatic demon. The feelings she experienced at the time were volatile, and her stomach was full of enough energy to make her forget hunger. Instead of leaving everything to Regan, it was much more profitable for Ravi to just take it for herself.

In addition, in the midst of that, she left the room saying it was his fault. Around the time when today’s argument faded along with the memory of it, if she devised a plausible lie to deceive anyone, that would be all. It was the perfect demon’s life. She praised herself for coming up with the seal in a situation of imminent crisis. Not just inside, but actually she was patting her head with her own hand.

“It’s been long since I caught a f… no, an amazing big fish~ where should I use it~?”

Ravi hopped around like an excited deer and smiled broadly, recalling the taste of Regan still left on the tip of her tongue. She was already looking forward to the rich predation time she would spend with him.

“!”

In an alley near Regan’s house. A long shadow stretched out, swallowing Ravi at once and dragging her into darkness. The moment the shadow touched her, Ravi, whose feet staggered in fear of being dragged, fell on her back and she hit a soft spot.

“Ahhhk!”

A scream burst out one beat later and echoed through the room. She jumped up in surprise, but the scenery surrounding her was particularly familiar to her eyes.

Uh? Here is…

As her heart was about to burst, startled by the fact that she knew the place, a drowsy voice came from behind her.

“Are you alive?”

Looking back in response to the sound, Ravi found Seyr leaning against the window. Late last night. As soon as he saw the immortal Regan, he abandoned her and did not return home.

“I thought you’d be dead by now.”

Whooo~ Exhaling a long trail of cigarette smoke, Seyr giggled. Ravi’s forehead was wrinkled at his shameless attitude not feeling any sorry for her.

“You–!”

Her anger soared at once, almost cracking her voice. Ehem– After clearing her throat, Ravi pushed her limbs and poked at Seyr with her finger.

“You are such a shameless bastard. Anytime you say you’re going to help, you end up leaving me alone and running away!”

Her words came out like a rapid-fire gun, and they landed in his ears. As she spoke, she remembered the feeling of being left alone with an immortal demon hunter making her even more livid.

“This time, something really bad might have happened! How can you take care of things like this?!”

The sadness had doubled since last night she had eaten Seyr’s strong energy. The pink eyes staring at her traitor comrade burned with fire. Without avoiding Seyr’s gaze, she glared at him directly. It was rare for Ravi, who lived with the motto to control her anger, to be this angry.

“Hey, this change of attitude is scary.”

Seyr looked at her curiously, then raised his hands exaggeratedly and trembled in a friendly manner.

“Some days you dig into my arms for help. You don’t need it anymore?”

Unlike Ravi, who was furious with him, Seyr’s mouth was smiling at her the whole time. Giggling. He laughed. It was because the succubus in front of him who dared to whine about being left behind was insignificant to him.

‘You have grown a lot.’ The arrogant ancient demon looked down at Ravi with those eyes. He rubbed out the cigarette he was smoking and bent over to match Ravi’s eye level. Seyr lifted her chin gracefully with his empty hand and whispered in a sweet voice.

“Someone I helped even if I receive a stigma.”

Stigma.

The comet blazing in Ravi’s eyes at that word, which was no different from taboo, disappeared in an instant.

“…Stigma?”

“Mng. Stigma.”

“He didn’t die, but what do you mean…!”

At her fresh affirmation that sounded like a lie, Ravi grabbed him and pulled down the shirt he was wearing. Allowing her to do as she pleased, Seyr’s eyes turned into those of the demon. Then, on the skin where the spine and neck connect was burned, the Vatican pattern slowly appeared.

“Uh? It’s real. What’s this? The hunter is still alive…”

Ravi backed away from him, instinctively feeling chills running down her spine. And she was puzzled at the same time. For the mark to be engraved, the hunter had to reach ‘death’ first. No human can come back to life once they have been touched by death. Because it was a swamp that even God could not reach. There was a moment when Regan stopped breathing, but he survived. So he shouldn’t have died. Since he had never died, there shouldn’t have been any stigma on Seyr’s back.–

“I suppose he’s dead, then.”

At that time, Seyr responded with no sincerity. He was busy arranging the clothes which had been stretched out by Ravi pulling them. His face was so calm that she could not even think that he was carrying a permanent scar on his soul.

“How can a dead person come to life?”

Ravi asked, denying reality as if all was pure nonsense. Not dying and coming back from death were two different subjects. Not dying was possible only with God’s blessing, but coming back alive from death…

“…It’s a curse.”

It was a curse. And a very powerful one. Unless you have enough magic power and great resentment, you could never succeed casting it. Ravi froze in front of her long-term enemy’s secret she suddenly learned.

“Who in the world cursed the Vatican hunter?”

It was surprising that such a strong curse was engraved on a soul chosen by God, but what was even more surprising was the devil who did it.

‘Who the hell has such a tremendous grudge against you?’

Enough to risk enduring being hidden from the heavenly eye and eliminating the fate of death from a hunter?
